Process and trace source data

All data processing is run by jobs. For each job and data provider, a journal is created to document that the process has been run, and that the entries were processed in the current job. Use this procedure to set up a data source and then trace the origin of a specific cost entry. This recording uses the USP2 demo data company USP2.
